Whats he gonna do? throw Chalk at them?
I'll believe this when I see it. 9 months of letting these people get away with murder and now you're gonna crack down? I feel sorry the people that are ordered to do the cracking.
The city of Portland, Oregon, has a New Year’s resolution: to enforce law and order and to end large-scale and continuous rioting once and for all.
It’s a bold resolution.
After seven months of violent riots and deadly attacks in Oregon’s largest city, Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler has vowed to crack down on the leftist groups which have made Portland the laughingstock of the country as they pillaged the once-beautiful city. KOIN-TV reported Wheeler is going to turn the heat up on antifa following a violent New Year’s Eve riot.
On Thursday night and Friday morning, Portland descended into a familiar chaos — the kind of chaos which is now the Rip City’s trademark. The Portland Police Bureau reported its officers were attacked in the city’s downtown area, and a riot was declared not long before 11 p.m.
Police said individuals involved in the rioting threw Molotov cocktails, according to KPTV. This was in addition to commercial-grade fireworks that were used to attack the city’s federal courthouse and another government building.

Portland’s rioters had essentially been given free rein to riot all year in 2020, as Wheeler enabled them in part by blaming federal agents for the violence. The rioters started off 2021 with a bang by also throwing rocks, frozen water bottles and other projectiles at cops.
Some reportedly even attempted to use tools to break into the county justice facility.
Videos posted on social media by Portland-based journalist Andy Ngo showed some of the familiar chaos.
